IN I945, Soviet Russia, the ally of the United States and Great Britain in World War II, became their partner in the newly established United Nations. For a very brief period it appeared that cooperation between the non-Communist and Communist camps had become a reality, and that efforts to modify the attitude of Soviet leaders to non-Soviet ideology had proved successful. Soon, however, the non-Communist world was shocked and puzzled by Soviet behavior. Every attempt of the democratic powers to stabilize the world was bitterly assailed by Moscow. Such projects as the Marshall Plan and the proposed federation of Europe, were denounced by Soviet representatives in the United Nations and by the Soviet press.
